My cat Rupert has been sick for a few days now, he has oily fur, he was vomitting, and has done nothing but sleep for the past three days. I don't have money to take him to the vet, and was needing to know if there was any medicines i could get for him.

Hi there...without a proper medical diagnosis it would be difficult to offer treatment without harming Rupert more. Consider ringing area vets as some will consider a payment plan. Vomiting can be symptomatic of many illnesses such as kidney/liver failure, hyperthyroidsim, an unknown mass not able to pass through, cancer, etc. If he is not eating nor drinking much he is critically ill and truly needs to have medical care by a vet.
Consider asking family or friends if you can borrow some funds to help your kitty as soon as possible.

Without knowing what is wrong for him you should not give him any kind of medications. It could make him worse. He needs to go to the vet. If you can call your vet and see if they have any suggestions. If not try and find some vet hospital that will help you with a payment plan. The cat needs to go to the Vet ASAP.

He needs to get to the vet before he gets worse. The doctor needs to prescribe the correct medication and run tests on your kitty. NEVER give your kitty medication without asking the vet. Especially aspirin, never give a cat aspirin. See if your vet will let you have a balance and take your cat. Most vets treat animals and then work out a payment plan with you. Please take him to the vet, he needs you now more than ever.

You have to come up with the $$ or just take him to the vet or humain society and hand him over. This IS really serious. Ask any friends or family to pitch in he won't make it another 3 days. You have to do this. Think about how crappy you will feel if he doesn't make it, and you didn't ask any one to pitch in some cash. Some vets have payment plans as well.

Even though you can't afford to take Rupert to the vet, if your cat means that much to you you'll need to find someway to be able to bring him to the vet, you can get the money later, but you'll never be able to get another Rupert.

NEVER administer medication to an animal without first having a veterinarian diagnose the problem.
You could easily make the situation worse. Instead, as friends & family for some financial help, to take your cat to the vet.

through the time you detect a substitute on your cat's habit the cat has been in misery for fairly some time. No thanks to inform what's incorrect for sure, vomiting is a symptom of many stuff, conceivable poisoning. The diagnosis desires to made through the veterinarian. To do? flow outdoors and get the cat into the abode. Take the cat in to the veterinarian ASAP.

I don't think there is anything anyone could do but a vet. See if there is one in the phonebook who will work out a payment plan with you. Some places work on a sliding scale...

I am extremely sorry for your kitty, but there is nothing you can do unless you call up a vet and ask them for which medecation he can take. You may want to find someone that you know who has money to adopt him from you and take him to the vet. I know its extremely sad but imagine how sad it would be to find out your cat is gone.
godbless you and your cat

If you dont' have any money to get him to the vet, then you should take hime to a humanities shelter. They could take care of him.
Or if you can't do that for some reason, you may have to put him up for adoption.
